Happy New Year to all my blogging friends..I think this time of year we all have reflections on what our life is all about and the many things we would love to be able to change about it..
I know I have had many struggles with heart issues now since last year and each day I wake up I feel God has once again Blessed me..
The one thing I can truly say is that this past almost 5 years I have been blogging I have so enjoyed getting to know so many kind people and will take these many fond memories in my heart with me..

Last year at this time I had nothing to share with all my non-projects I didn't get done and here we are at yet another years end and I still have nothing to share ha ha!!

Kenny Rogers song the "Gambler" said you got to know when to fold them..Well I'm now at this stage in my life that it is time for me to put this blog to rest..I feel I have nothing left in me to share..

I will miss so many people that I came to call "My Dear friends" so many of you have inspired me to want to be a better person..

I truly loved you all opening up your homes and your heart to me..My new word for 2013 is KINDNESS this I wish for each and everyone of you..Be healthy and don't ever take for granted your health!! One day you can be fit as fiddle and the next just trying to breath each day...Always love your family and show them each day how much you do love them..

Before I call this a wrap I want to wish my dear blogging friend BJ at Sweet Nothings a very Happy 75th birthday..I'm so glad I met you on Rate my space and was able to reconnect with you in Blogland..

Many Blessings to each and every one of you that took the time to just come by and say Hi Gloria..

Much love to all of you and THANK YOU for all the fond memories..

With KINDNESS from my mountain to yours,

Hugs and Love Gloria

Who knows maybe I'll back for Bubba and Patty Ann's Christmas letter 2013

Twenty ways to confuse Santa Claus

1. Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a note explaining that you think he could stand to lose a few pounds.

2. While he's in the house, go find his sleigh and write him a speeding ticket.

3. Leave him a note, explaining that you've gone away for the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your plants.

4. While he's in the house, replace all his reindeer with exact
replicas. Then wait and see what happens when he tries to get them to
fly.

5. Keep an angry bull in your living room. If you think a bull goes
crazy when he sees a little red cape, wait until he sees that big, red
Santa suit!

6. Build an army of mean-looking snowmen on the roof, holding signs that say "We hate Christmas," and "Go away Santa."

7. Leave a note by the telephone, telling Santa that Mrs. Claus called
and wanted to remind him to pick up some milk and a loaf of bread on his
way home.

8. Throw a surprise party for Santa when he comes down the chimney. Refuse to let him leave until the strippers arrive.

9. While he's in the house, find the sleigh and sit in it. As soon as he
comes back and sees you, tell him that he shouldn't have missed that
last payment, and take off.

10. Leave a plate filled with cookies and a glass of milk out, with a
note that says, "For The Tooth Fairy. :)" Leave another plate out with
half a stale cookie and a few drops of skim milk in a dirty glass with a
note that says, "For Santa. :("

11. Take everything out of your house as if it's just been robbed. When
Santa arrives, show up dressed like a policeman and say, "Well, well.
They always return to the scene of the crime."

12. Leave out a copy of your Christmas list with last-minute changes and corrections.

13. While he's in the house, cover the top of the chimney with barbed wire.

14. Leave lots of hunting trophies and guns out where Santa's sure to
see them. Go outside, yell, "Ooh! Look! A deer! And he's got a red
nose!" and fire a gun.

15. Leave Santa a note, explaining that you've moved. Include a map with unclear and hard-to-read directions to your new house.

16. Set a bear trap at the bottom of the chimney. Wait for Santa to get
caught in it, and then explain that you're sorry, but from a distance,
he looked like a bear.

17. Leave out a Santa suit, with an attached dry-cleaning bill.

18. Paint "hoof-prints" all over your face and clothes. While he's in
the house, go out on the roof. When he comes back up, act like you've
been "trampled." Threaten to sue for personal injury.

19. Instead of ornaments, decorate your tree with Easter eggs.

20. Dress up like the Easter Bunny. Wait for Santa to come and then say, "This neighborhood ain't big enough for the both of us.

My True Love Gave to Me...

I went to the door today, and the postman delivered a partridge in a
pear tree. This was a delightful gift! I couldn't have been more
surprised or pleased darling!

With truly the deepest love,
Agnes

December 15, 2003

Dearest Dave,

Today the postman brought me yet another of your sweet gifts. The two
turtule doves that arrived today are adorable, and I'm delighted by your
thoughtful and generous ways.

With all of my love,
Your Agnes

December 16, 2003

Dearest Dave,

You've truly been too kind! I must protest; I don't deserve such
generosity. The thought of getting three French hens amazes me. Yet, I
am not surprised--what more should I expect from such a nice person.

Love,
Agnes

December 17, 2003

Dear Dave,

Four calling birds arrived in the mail today. They are truly nice but
don't you think that enough is enough? You are being too romantic.

Affectionately,
Agnes

December 18, 2003

Dearest darling Dave,

It was a surprise to get five golden rings! I now have one for every
finger. You truly are impossible darling, yet oh how I love it! Quite
frankly, all of those squarking birds from the previous days were
starting to get on my nerves. Yet, you managed to come through with a
beautiful valuable gift!

All my love,
Agnes

December 19, 2003

Dear Dave,

When I opened my door, there were actually six geese a-laying on my
front steps. So you're back to the birds again, huh? Those geese are
dear, but where will I keep them? The neighbors are complaining, and I
am unable to sleep with all the racket. Please stop dear.

Cordially,
Agnes

December 20, 2003

Dave,

What is with you and those stupid birds!? Seven swans a-swimming!! What
kind of sick joke is this!!?? There are bird droppings everywhere! They
never shut up, and I don't get any sleep!!! I'm a nervous wreck! It's
not funny you weirdo, so stop with the birds.

Sincerely,
Agnes

December 21, 2003

O.K. wise guy,

The birds were bad enough. Now what do you expect me to do with eight
maids a-milking? If that's not bad enough, they had to bring their
cows!! The front lawn was completely ruined by them, and I can't move in
my own house! Just lay off me or you'll be sorry!

Agnes

December 22, 2003

Hey loser,

What are you? You must be some kind of sadist!! Now there are nine
pipers playing, and they certainly do play! They haven't stopped chasing
those maids since they got here! The cows are getting upset, and
they're stepping all over those screeching birds. The neighbors are
getting up a petition to evict me, and I'm going out of my mind!

You'll get yours!
Agnes

December 23, 2003

You rotten scum!!!

There are now ten ladies dancing! There is only one problem with that!
They're dancing twenty-four hours a day all around me with the pipers
upsetting the cows and the maids. The cows can't sleep, and they are
going to the bathroom everywhere! The building commissioner has
subpoenaed me to give cause as to why the house shouldn't be condemned! I
can't even think of a reason! You creep! I'm sicking the police on you!

One who means it!

December 24, 2003

Listen you evil, sadistic, maniac!

What's with the eleven lords-a-leaping?!? They are leaping across the
rooms breaking everything and even injuring some of the maids! The place
smells, is an absolute mad house, and is about to be condemned! At
least the birds are quiet; they were trampled to death by the cows. I
hope you are satisfied--you rotten vicious worthless piece of garbage!

Your sworn enemy,
Agnes

Dear sir,

This is to acknowledge your latest gift of twelve fiddlers-fiddling

shoot you on site.

Please direct all correspondence to this office in the future. With this letter, please find attached a warrant for your arrest.

Sample the Cuervo to check quality.
Take
a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest
quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat
one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar.
Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK,
try another cup just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2
leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the
frigging fruit up off floor.
Mix on the turner. If the fried
druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.
Next, sift two cups
of salt, or something, whatever. Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the
lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table full of that one stuff.
Add a spoon of shuga, or somefink. Whatever you can find. It all looks
the same.
Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.
Pick
yourself up off the floor. Try not to giggle, it makes the floor fall
out from underneath you. Don’t forget to beat off the turner.
Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.
